3,3,6,6-Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazinane tetrahydrate
Dihydroxyacetone (0.90 g, 10 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (0.49 ml, 10 mmol) in
ethanol (50 ml) were heated for 12 h. Slow evaporation of the solvent gave
colourless crystals in 80% yield. The formulation of the organic molecule was
established by 1H and 13C NMR as well as by mass spectroscopies.
The amino and water H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and
were refined with a distance restraint of N-H = O-H = 0.85 (1) Å; their
Uiso parameters were freely refined. Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in
calculated positions (C-H = 0.97 Å) and were included in the refinement
in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to
1.2Ueq(C). The highest peak and the deepest hole are located
0.73 and 0.58 Å from O1W. Although the displacement parameters of
atom O1W are relatively large, no disorder is expected as its H-atoms could
be located and refined.
